Cinderella will go to the ball.A CURRENT concern over the City Region approach now being adopted by the Northern Way is that too much focus is being put on Manchester and Leeds, leaving Liverpool as the "Cinderella" of the three RDAs. In fact, there is something attractive about this analogy. Liverpool is about to go to the ball in a big way - mostly due to private-sector financed projects. Availability of top-class office space will be much enhanced by the 1m sq ft of development in the centre. For shoppers the attractions will be transformed when the Grosvenor Retail project is completed. And on the waterfront a new arena and conference centre is due to open in two years, with a museum also planned. Moreover, the shipping potential of the city will be enhanced when Mersey Docks completes its pounds 85m project to extend the Royal Seaforth Container terminal A container terminal is a facility where cargo containers are transhipped between different transport vehicles, for onward transportation. The transhipment may be between ships and land vehicles, for example trains or trucks, in which case the terminal is described as a into the river so it can handle very large ships. And at Liverpool University a Northern Leadership Academy has now been set up under Professor Peter Taylor. Maybe not this year. Nor next. But certainly from 2008 onwards on·ward adj. Moving or tending forward. adv. also on·wards In a direction or toward a position that is ahead in space or time; forward. Adv. 1. . Pity about the Ugly Sisters The Ugly sisters are characters in the fairy tale and pantomime, Cinderella. They are the daughters of Cinderella's cruel step mother, who treat her poorly. They are traditionally played by male actors in drag and wear outlandish exaggerated clothes. . |
